HOW TO USE THE PAINX 2000

HOW TO USE PAIN-X 2000 ON YOUR HORSE

It is truly wonderful to watch your horse react to the PAIN-X-2000™. Their
reactions will vary but they do not lie. You can use your PAIN-X-2000™ in
cold or hot conditions, if your horse is dry or wet, basically anytime you
want. External conditions will not change the way PAIN-X-2000™ works with
your horse. The simplest way we have found to use the PAIN-X-2000™ is
just by starting at the neck of the horse and follow their skeletal system.
Leave the PAIN-X-2000™ from 5 to 10 seconds on an area, if the horse
reacts to this area, leave until the horse softens or relaxes. General
relaxation, lowering of head, licking lips, yawning, muscle relaxation,
defecation and urination are all signs that the energy is being balanced. It
can be said that the animal becomes more passive during treatment. After
this is seen go to the next area. As you work with your horse, you will soon
learn his problem areas, but it never hurts to go over the whole horse to
make sure all areas of discomfort are stimulated. When touching your
horse notice his/her reaction to various points and parts of the body. For
example, drawing in of the flanks, backing of the ears, wrinkling of nose,
swishing tail, biting, muscle pulsations and vibrations. On these areas that
react, just place your PAIN-X-2000™ on that area until the area is satisfied.

It is important to learn to touch your horse and know his responses to your
touch. Your hands should be tools of communication, to listen and to
speak, to sense temperature changes, to stretch and move muscles and
limbs, and awaken them to unknown possibilities. Learn to see with your
hands, not your eyes. Your horse will also learn new awareness to their
bodies, a fully mobility, and a sense of well-being. Pamela Hanney's book,
"Touching Horses," is a wonder book on this subject. She also shares how
to use your hands to help your horse. We have found a wonderful effect of
PAIN-X-2000™ when you are using your hands. When you find a tight
spot, a knot, a "threadlike" area, etc, just place your PAIN-X-2000™ on this
area and you will feel it soften. For example, when working behind the
elbow area of the horse, many times you will find knots, strings and tight
spots, just place your PAIN-X-2000™ on this area for about a minute and
then feel the area again. You will start to see the area soften and become
nice and flexible. You may have to reapply the PAIN-X-2000™ depending
on just how tight the area is. When horses' know our intentions and they
will rarely refuse help from us unless a memory is just too painful. We need
to honour his senses, his needs, his instincts, and his individuality. You
may have to work this area over several days. Remember in most cases
these problems areas did not happen over night. If your horse tells you he
has had enough, honour his wishes. Sometimes just working another area
will help you be able to come back to the "upsetting" area. Again "Touching
Horses" shows these techniques. Try not to reduce your horse to a
machine or an insane, un-mountable runaway. Have you taken a step back
and tried to look into your horse? Learn to ask yourself, is there a physical
reason why my horse is acting the way he is? It is an investment of time
and effort that will be rewarding for your and your horse. As Pamela
Hanney says, “Horses have so much to say to those who 'listen'". We hope
you will learn to understand the physical communication that your horse is
telling us. We feel that when you find a "ticklish" horse, "girthy" horse,
"head shy" horse, or etc., you need to consider what they are trying to tell
us. Sometimes this is the only way they can tell us what is going on. We
need to learn to see, to hear and comprehend what they are saying. There
are several other wonderful books that can help you expand your
knowledge. Some of these books are listed at the end of this section.

Chinese acupuncture and meridian principals are a complex study in
themselves. You can take these principals and apply them using your PAIN-
X-2000. This type of therapy is known as photopuncture. An Advanced
Equine Application Manual is provided with the purchase of the 2500X and
5700X which shares with you some of this information. These points can be
predictably applied to recognize problems in your horses and thus, enable
you to take early measures of detection and/or correction. Again we can
not stress enough that PAIN-X-2000 is only an adjunctive therapy. Always
consult your veterinarian. There are many books on the market that will
help educate you more on acupuncture and their meridians if this is of
interest to you. It is not our intent to fully educate on this subject. We only
want to share with you some of the points that we have found work well with
the PAIN-X-2000. The time involved on leaving the lights on a spot will vary
from 15 seconds to 2 minutes. Watch your horse’s reaction. Response
may be a quivering of the muscle, movement away from the PAIN-X-2000,
retraction of the back, or sometimes, when a point is very painful, even an
attempt to kick or bite.

When points are stimulated, endorphins can be released. Endorphins are
the body's pain reducing substances. Stimulation can also relieve muscle
spasms, a primary cause of pain in arthritic conditions. Point stimulation
can increase the blood supply to the ailing area, increasing the supply of
nutrition and oxygen to the cells. Stimulation can release the body's natural
cortisone which reduces swelling. Stimulating certain points can
measurably increase antibody production. The use of PAIN-X-2000 can
increase the immune system activity which can reduce infection and relieve
low grade fever. PAIN-X-2000 can also affect digestion, blood flow, the
nervous system functions, hormone levels, and the function of the organs.
A chronic problem may require three to four times as many sessions with
the PAIN-X-2000 as an acute problem.

A further method of using your PAIN-X-2000 is by specific recommendation
from your veterinarian.

Please note no condition should be continuously treated longer than 21
days without a rest period of one week. Thereafter, treat only every other
week, with one week rest between. As with almost any type of treatment,
the body tends to get accustomed to what is happening and begins to
ignore the treatment. For this same reason, PAIN-X-2000 if often effective
in treating old chronic conditions because it awakens the body to recognize
a condition it has come to ignore. With any condition, it should be treated
until it has healed.

When using the PAIN-X-2000, it is desirable to have it as close to the skin
as possible so the maximum amount of light penetrates the area under
therapy. However, there are times when this could be harmful to the
handler. If the horse is extremely sore, for example in the groin area, stand
at a safe distance. Also there may be times when treating open wounds
that this can be messy and unsanitary. When treating wounds please
consult your veterinarian. If he/she agrees that PAIN-X-2000 would be
beneficial only leave the lights there until a clear serum appears. At that
point stop treatment for the day. You can work all around the area of the
wound to help with blood flow. Please remember a horse is a very large
animal and can react suddenly, be prepared.
